I don't believe this guy. V's wife.

I am with you. I would like to see him answer a couple of your questions.

And how did you "later learn he was a convicted murderer"? What did you do followup with the arresting officers?

He said he got off at 50th and they were midtown north cops. One, I would think that the police, since he interacted with them, would file a police report and inform him of their precinct. I don't think they would just say "bye." And I think a cop would have to say something like "I'm Sargent McVey and this is officer Riley and we are with the 95th Precinct." Two, calling 911 and trailing the suspect would mean constant communication with the cops to give them a heads up on his movement and direction, that seems unlikely in this scenario. Three, his painstaking musings on this dude's background smacks of racism. Hey, I could be wrong, but I lived and worked in NY for 15 years. And I just don't see the logistics of the story playing out. Particularly the cops not identifying the precinct they were out of. V's Wife. I could be wrong, and if so will apologize.

RE: " I don't believe this guy"

your cynicism sucks. but here goes...

The police needed witnesses to the attack, I stood by as they arrested him, one car took the bad guy to Midtown North -- another car took me and another witness to the station. Police asked us to wait for ~ 1 hour and then came and took ciontact info, statements etc. -- they had already inspected the weapon, talked to the suspect, etc and they told us what they knew - e.g gun was loaded no saftey , long rap sheet, crazy ramblings etc.

early this morning the arresting officer arrived at my home to serve me a SUBPEONA to appear b4 the Grand Jury so they can lock this guy up. I guess at part of an effort to convince me taht it is really iomportant that I show up - he mentioned that the guy has a previous murder convicting.

Can't believe you'd accuse someone of making something like this up -- for what purpose?
